Upon examination of the government’s trail of paperwork spanning a
period of nearly two decades , between the Hammonds and the US Fish and
Wildlife Service (FWS) at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge (MNWR),
it is apparent that they were being persecuted by the federal government
for simply insisting upon exercising their historical right to trail
cattle. This began long before the controlled burn in 2002 and the
backfire in 2006 that resulted in them being sentenced to five years in
federal prison.

What is plainly “a long train of abuses” has been well documented by
the documents obtained by those who made copies of public records (not
classified) that were found at the headquarters of the Malheur National
Wildlife Refuge. Though there were many more incidents, this review of
the paper trail of correspondence between the Hammonds and the FWS , as
well as other intergovernmental records, clearly demonstrates that
abuse. This provides us a bit of transparency to the federal
government’s treatment of those who had every right to their historical
usage of those public lands.
On October 26, Dwight Hammond notified Fish and Wildlife Services
(FWS) at MNWR, some 30 miles south of Burns, Oregon, and explained that
historically, he did not have to notify anyone to “trail” his cattle
(for you city folk, this means herding cattle along a route from one
point to another).

FWS attempted to impose a requirement that they be
notified as to the number of cattle, the route, the time, and the date
of such movements. The new policy also disallowed grazing off of the
trail while the cattle were being moved, held Dwight to a schedule by
FWS, and demanded that he obtain a permit from them for each move.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama is seeking an average rate increase
of 39 percent on individual plans offered through the Obamacare
marketplace, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services.

The proposed rate hikes will affect more than 160,000 people in
Alabama who purchase insurance through the federal exchange, or about 5
percent of Blue Cross membership.

Rate increases range from 26 to 41 percent, depending on the type of
plan. Proposed increases are lowest for bronze plans, which offer the
least amount of coverage, and greatest for the most popular silver
plans.

Blue Cross is the only insurance company that will offer Alabamians
individual insurance plans through the exchange next year after the
departure of Humana and UnitedHealth. Those departures were announced
earlier this year.

Trump leads Hillary Clinton by almost a point when figuring in the polling bias.

Carroll Shelby’s impact on the automobile is almost
immeasurable. He won in almost every form of motorsport he attacked,
excelling as a driver and then as a manufacturer and racing team
manager. He also redefined the sports car with the 289 Cobra, a
lightweight hybrid that married AC’s Ace roadster with Ford’s all-new
thinwall V-8 engine. Once Shelby’s chief engineer Phil Remington and driver Ken Miles sorted
the combination, the Cobra proved a terror in competition, immediately
trailering the new-for-1963 Corvette Sting Ray and eventually winning
the World Manufacturers Championship in Daytona Coupe form.

A Frenchman has observed that the qualities of a culture may be
identified by two characteristics— its manners and its cuisine. If that
is so, then we can safely say that the United States, except for the
South, has no culture at all. Aside from the South the only American
contributions to cuisine consist of a few things imported by immigrant
groups, like the hot dog and pizza. And a great many Americans outside
the South either disdain good manners or have no concept of manners at
all.

From earliest colonial times to the present, Southern manners have
been noted by outsiders as an admirable exception to normal American
behaviour. A Northampton, Massachusetts, newspaper says this in 1833:

“The manners of the Southern people we like far better
than those of our own. They win confidence without effort, and create a
feeling of sociality without ostentation, and throw around them a
sentiment of kindness without affected display.”

there is one issue before you, and to all
sensible men but one issue, and but two sides to that issue. The slavery
question is but one of the symbols of that issue; the commercial
question is but one of the symbols of that issue; the Union question is
but one of those symbols; the only issue before this country in the
canvass is the integrity and safety of the Constitution […] The South
has aggressed upon no section. She asks no section to yield anything
that is for her safety or for her protection. All that the South has
ever asked of the Government is to keep its hands off us and let the
Constitution work its own way.

The South has been aggressed upon; the
South has been trenched upon; four-fifths of her territory, in which she
has equal rights, has been torn from her; and by the acts of Government
she has been excluded from it. Revenues have been raised at the rate of
two or three dollars in the South to one from any other section for the
support of this great Government, but the South makes no complaint of
mere dollars and cents. Touch not the honor of my section of the
country, and she will not complain of almost anything else you may do;
but touch her honor and equality and she will stand up in their defence,
if necessary in arms.’
– Alabama Fire-Eater William L. Yancey, ‘Equal Rights in a Common Government’

Brian
Anker in Fredericia in Denmark have had enough then a film spread in
social media where his own son were assaulted and beaten by several
Somalis."My patience is over," he wrote on Facebook.

It is one of Denmark's currently most viral news - the film that shows
how the five Somalis unprovoked jump on and beat up 13-year-old Noah at a
railway station in Fredericia in Jutland, Denmark. All Somalis while others scoff and filming the beating with their mobile cameras.

Against the wishes of her New York Democratic constituents, Hillary
Clinton voted with Senate Republicans to invade Iraq. (It was a pivotal
vote. Without Democratic support, George W. Bush's request for this war
of aggression would have failed.)

Humayun Khan, 27, was an army captain who got killed during that invasion.

Eight years later, the dead soldier's parents appeared at the 2016
Democratic National Convention -- not to protest, but in order to
endorse one of the politicians responsible for his death: Hillary
Clinton.

Even more strangely, Clinton's opponent Donald Trump is the one who is
in political trouble -- not because Trump sent Khan to war, but because
Trump committed a relatively minor slight, especially compared to the
numerous outrageous utterances to his name. Trump didn't denigrate the
dead Humayun Khan. Nor did he directly insult his parents. Lamely trying
to score a feminist point concerning radical Islam, Trump insinuated
that Mr. Khan didn't allow Mrs. Khan to address the crowd because as a
Muslim, he doesn't respect women.

Following statements voiced by the Defense Ministry of the Iran
nuclear deal on Friday, in which its was compared to British Prime
Minister’s appeasement policy and the 1938 signing of the Munich
agreement with Hitler, government officials have continued to heap
criticism on the deal.

“There is no basis for the American government’s approach
according to which the the full Iranian implementation of the nuclear
agreement is indicative of its success,” Hanegbi said. “This is
precisely the problem with the agreement: Iran has no reason to violate
it during its validation period because it already serves all its
purposes. Iran continues its regional subversion unabated. It arms and
finances terror organizations and continues to advance its illicit
production of ballistic missiles. Despite all this its economy enjoys
the removal of sanctions and many countries investing in businesses in
Iran,” he complained.

Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush is asking Texas Republicans to support the Republican presidential nominee — though he has not endorsed Donald Trump, the Texas Tribune reports.

Bush
said it’s time to put aside lingering tensions from the primary — in
which Trump defeated his father, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush — to back
the nomine

“From
Team Bush, it's a bitter pill to swallow, but you know what? You get
back up and you help the man that won, and you make sure that we stop Hillary Clinton," Bush said, according to video provided by someone in the audience.

An expert on Secret Service tactics told TGP Secret Service agents
would not touch a candidate in the manner that this individual did and
especially Hillary Clinton. It has been widely reported
on Hillary’s disdain for the agents who work to protect her. The man
who touches Hillary may be a member of Hillary’s close staff – but he is
NOT a Secret Service agent.

I should not presume to tell Southern conservatives where to place
Thornwell in their tradition, but, surely, a straight line runs from him
to the Agrarians, who, astonishingly, slighted the thought of all the
antebellum theologians.

The God-fearing, Bible-reading, hymn-singing Confederate army grew out
of a Southern soil well cultivated during the long struggle of
countless, if largely unsung, preachers to civilize a harsh and violent
frontier. Personal piety and Bible-centered family circles bolstered the
churches in a successful effort to shape the regional culture. The
churches assumed responsibility for the education, especially moral, of
the people, high and low and to a degree rarely appreciated, they set
the terms for a vast consensus on the proper foundations of the social
order. Let there be no mistake: a firm commitment to slavery-lay at the
heart of that consensus, but few dared to enter public dis­cussion of
slavery’s character and consequences without being pre­pared to ground
their views in Scripture.

For unlike the North, the South resisted the
rising pressure to slight the Word and reduce the Spirit to
philosophical speculation. In helping to forge that conserva­tive
sensibility, the most humble preachers stood with the most
so­phisticated theologians. For, much like the leading secular
intellectuals (most of whom also took religious ground) they did not
suffer that acute alienation from their society which was becoming the
hallmark of the intellectuals of the North and, indeed, of the whole of
trans-Atlantic bourgeois society.

Remembrance

To die for one’s country is not only an act of bravery, it is THE act of bravery. For soldiers, it is just an extension of their military career, a part of their duty. As leaders have asked their soldiers to sacrifice themselves for the good of the society, it is only right for leaders to go through the same motion. They should practice what they have preached.

As war is seen as a noble act, tu sat serves as redemption in case of defeat. It is also a way to tell the enemy: “You might have won the battle/war but you don’t deserve to win because you don’t have the chinh nghia (just cause).” And it is not only just cause: it is the moral belief that the cause they are fighting for deserves their total sacrifice.

My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.

Great Grandfather Koonce

He was a drummer boy in the WBTS, survived the War only to die a few years later. He was caught in an ice storm on his way home, but instead of seeking shelter, continued on his horse until the end. His clothes had to be cut off and he died a few days later.
